This is relevant to my interests. 🥧
Public Service Announcement: If Google has been screaming at you that you’re running out of storage – I somehow got up to 87% full on mine – there is a useful tool that lets you review and delete things like large email attachments, Drive files you no longer need, etc. I used it to blast a lot of junk. 💥🗑
Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration – OH MAN. Just watching the trailer was like an instant dopamine hit. Straight back to my childhood… 👾
I like to pretend I’m above crappy American fast food, but let’s be honest – I would 100% try (and likely enjoy) this new Papa John’s monstrosity. 🍕
When shocked Europeans hear that I am sad about moving back to Australia, the lack of cycling infrastructure is one of the main reasons that I cite. And it’s not just that – some people are actively hostile to cyclists and in far too many cases have deliberately injured them. I have loved riding my bicycle in Munich. I ride it to work and the shops and the hairdresser, and I take short joyrides around the parks near my house, and every now and then I take a longer ride out of the city. In all of those rides, I rarely have to share the road with cars and I’ve seldom felt worried for my safety. I have a helmet but I don’t wear it very often. (I should wear it all the time, I know.) I see all kinds of people on bikes here – old people, kids, serious athletes, parents pulling bike trailers. None of this happens in Sydney. The end result is that I’m not going to bother to ship my bike back, because I know it will just gather dust and I’ll feel sad.
I should stop moping and go out for a ride today while I still can, I guess. 🚴♀️
I was delighted to see on my friend and neighbour Michael Mobbs’s blog that his Sustainable House in Chippendale will be featured on Season 2 of Zac Efron’s Netflix documentary series. If you watch the trailer, you can totally hear Michael’s voice in the shot where they’re drinking the water! I can’t wait to see it.
Here’s the trailer…
The Twitter takeover is complete. As soon as this whole rigamarole started a few months back I decided to start cutting down on my usage of the platform. In the end I’ve decided I don’t want to be counted as a Daily Active User on any platform run by that man, so today I downloaded the archive of all my old tweets and then used Tweet Deleter to blast them all. I’ve kept the account as I don’t want anyone to grab the username and pretend to be me, and I do still use it to log in to a couple services. But I’ve deleted the app off all my devices, and I’m going to do my absolute best to stay off it unless absolutely professionally necessary.
If you want to do the same, you can start by going into your Settings and requesting an archive of all your data.
Once you’ve got that, you can either delete your account or else delete each tweet manually. Tweet Deleter has a cost – I paid €12 for one month’s unlimited access – but I know that various folks are working on free Open Source solutions.
So what now? I plan on doing more blogging here, and going back to the old days of RSS feeds. I might think about integrating my old tweets into the blog somehow, but not sure yet. I’ve got like 700+ old posts that actually refer to my tweets, so I’ll have to fix those at some point too. I don’t think I’ll enable comments; if you want to ask me something, you can email or hit me up on Facebook or LinkedIn.
Only $7M. 😂
I’ve decided I’m not going to be posting on the hellsite anymore for obvious reasons. Instead I’m going to ramp back up on the blogging, so if you want to see all my silly little thoughts, that’s where they’ll be. In related news, wow, my RSS feed reader is a graveyard these days. Maybe we can all bring blogs back again?!
@200ok @joshilewis @developerjack @charrett @SydTechLeaders In the past we have limited it to one 5min rant per person. I got creative one year and managed to fit like 30 specific rant topics in there. I was talking like an auctioneer. 🙂

It took us 2+ years, but we finally made it out to the cool part of Munich. (This is the place Frankie’s Pizza WISHES it was.)
We had a fun night catching up with Anita Sengupta and Abe having “Bavarian tapas” tonight in Munich! ❤️🍻
